11 Daily Maintenance OWNER S FOR ALL DSE SERIES MODELS CLEANING Do not unplug the fryer and always make sure the fryer is turned off Do not touch heater module, oil vat or oil unless you are sure it has cooled 1) Wipe basket(s) with paper towel to remove crumbs and food particles 2) Wipe crumbs, oil and any other food matter from inside of door into spill tray using a paper towel 3) Clean outside of fryer with a good stainless steel cleaner and wipe dry Do not clean the outside or any other stainless steel part using abrasive cleaners. Use only light degreasers on powder coated surfaces. 4) Check oil level on the back of vat to make sure it is up to cold line (at room temperature). If not, add oil as necessary. Replace the cooking oil once a week or more often if necessary. Use a COMMERCIAL GRADE DEEP FRY COOKING OIL. Weekly Maintenance Do not unplug the fryer and always make sure the fryer is turned off Do not touch heater module, oil vat or oil unless you are sure it has cooled 1) Open front panel by lifting and turning latches. Lift it off its hinges. The front panel can be cleaned as is or apart if preferred. 2) Remove air filter cartridge and set aside (for replacement, see page 11). Do not wash air filter cartridge 3) Pour cooking oil from vat into containers for disposal. Have empty containers handy for proper disposal of used cooking oil. A rendering company can help with proper disposal

12 CLEANING (Continued) 4) Remove basket lift, oil vat and heater module (picture right). Use a spray on oven cleaner and enclose with plastic bag for at least one hour or leave overnight if possible. (ECOLAB Grease strip Plus and EASY-OFF are recommended). Wash in soap and hot water and rinse well in hot water. Rinse parts in a solution of: 1 part white vinegar [5% acetic acid] and 2 parts water. The vinegar rinse is very important. It neutralizes soap residue that causes oil breakdown foaming. Soap residue turns oil dark and reduces its performance significantly. Clear water rinse parts. Clean the male and female terminals on connectors with rubbing alcohol and cotton swab. The heater box must NOT be immersed in water or other liquid. Do not spray male connector 5) Remove spill tray and drain any oil that has accumulated. Wash in soap and hot water. Rinse well in hot water and dry. 6) With internal components removed, clean cooking and filter compartments with grease cutting soap. Rinse with damp cloth and dry. Do not spray female connector 7) Move fryer, and then clean counter-top and external surfaces. 8) Re-install all parts (see ASSEMBLY page 6) OIL VAT BEING SPRAYED WITH OVEN CLEANER

13 Periodic Maintenance OWNER S FOR ALL DSE SERIES MODELS CLEANING (Continued) Air Filter Cartridge Replacement Replace the air filter cartridge at least once every 3 months, more often for higher volume usage. Replacement is safer and easier when the fryer is cool rather than hot. Only PERFECT FRY filters may be used in your PERFECT FRYER. Steps to replace air filter cartridge: 1) Open front panel by lifting and turning latches 2) Release latch on air filter cage, and remove air filter cage and air filter cartridge from filter compartment 3) Remove old used air filter cartridge from air filter cage 4) Wipe air filter cage clean 5) Fit air filter cage over new air filter cartridge and write date on cartridge ( Arrows up) 6) Install air filter cage and new air filter cartridge firmly back into filter compartment and latch in place 7) Close front panel and latch shut

14 Great Food in Less Time OWNER S FOR ALL DSE SERIES MODELS TIPS ON DEEP FRYING Use premium quality commercial deep frying oil. Canola and Soybean oils are recommended. Do not use household cooking oils from your local supermarket. Poor quality oils may shorten the life of the air filter cartridge. Keep food frozen until ready to fry. Frozen product will absorb less oil during the cooking process. Remove ice from food. Ice results in excess bubbling and spillage of oil out of the vat. Minimize the moisture. Excess moisture extends the cooking time. Water, ice, sugar and breading all contribute to shortening the life of the oil. MINIMIZE THE MOISTURE REDUCE THE COOKING TIME MAXIMIZE THE PROFIT Try to reduce the amount of breading that falls off of the food. Breading often has sugar and other ingredients that will reduce the oil s life and darken the appearance of food. Consider filtering the oil to remove the breading particles. Do not overfill the basket. Excess food may not be cooked properly. Common Questions How Much Oil to Use? The PERFECT FRY has a capacity of 2 gallons of oil (8L). Fill the oil vat to the cold line only. How Much to Fry? Fill the basket to the fill line only. The basket has an approximate capacity of 2 lbs (1 kg) of product per cycle. What is the Ideal Temperature Range for Cooking? The ideal temperature range for cooking product is between 350 F and 360 F (177 C and 182 C). The factory default setting for cooking temperature is 350 F (177 C). Should Frozen Food Be Defrosted? DO NOT THAW FROZEN FOOD! Frozen foods only should be put directly into the fryer in order to minimize moisture. Can I Refreeze Frozen Foods? NO, do not refreeze frozen foods. Foods that are refrozen can absorb more oil, which will result in a dry, brittle and tasteless product

15 OIL FACTS Frying oil is especially formulated to withstand high temperatures. For this reason, you must ensure you are using the right product. Liquid vegetable shortening is produced by several companies; the oil has an additive and/or has been formulated to increase the performance during high temperature usage. DO NOT USE OIL THAT IS RECOMMENDED BOTH FOR SALAD AND FRYING! Fill the oil vat to the cold line only. The oil expands as it heats and if overfilled, the bottom of the basket will remain in the oil when in the up/serve position. How Much to Fry? Fill the basket no higher than the fill line. Do not overload the basket. Keep baskets clean and free of breading/batter build up. Remove ice crystals or excess water before frying. Do not salt or season before frying. Remove surplus and/or batter before frying. Do not allow frozen food to thaw before frying. Drain fried foods before serving. How Hot is TOO Hot? Ideal frying temperature range is between 350 F and 360 F (177 C and 182 C). Factory default setting is 350 F (177 C). When frying at too low a temperature, food absorbs more oil which increases oil consumption. Excessive Oil Usage? The fried product is absorbing oil. Possible reasons for this include: Excess breading or batter, shake off excess before frying. Allow basket to drain longer, adjust the drain time. Food is being allowed to thaw before frying. Cleaning Your Fryer? Refer to the Cleaning section of this owner s manual. Remember to clean the basket and drip tray. Filtering Your Oil? The most important procedure you can do is to maintain the oil, extending its life: Filter at least once a day, preferably first thing in the morning when the oil is at room temperature. Filtering removes all the contaminants from the previous days cooking. Clean the oil vat. Points to Remember: Clean the cooking chamber at least once a week and rinse thoroughly. Filter oil daily. Do not overheat oil. Use the standby mode when possible. Do not salt product prior to frying. Remove ice crystals and moisture before frying. Maintain oil level in vat, check to ensure it is at the hot line often. The oil is dead when foaming appears continuously on the oil surface Your oil, product taste, and customers depend on you

16 OIL FACTS (Continued) If the oil temperature is set too high, the food will cook on the exterior and the interior will be undercooked. When the interior is cooked completely, the exterior will be overdone or burnt. The higher temperature will also cause the oil to break down faster and smoke. During slow periods, take advantage of the standby mode which allows the oil to cool down to 275 F (135 C), prolonging the oil life and reducing energy costs while allowing quick recovery time when required. The oil temperature should not be adjusted when cooking different products. Adjust the cooking time instead. Frozen Foods Put frozen foods directly into the fryer. DO NOT THAW FROZEN FOODS! Blot excess water from food before frying. Remove ice crystals that may be at the bottom of the product bag. OIL AND WATER DO NOT MIX! Water reacts with oil and makes it break down rapidly resulting in darkening, smoking and foaming (a process called hydrolysis). Excess water in the oil can cause the following problems: Unnecessary temperature drop meaning longer cooking times. More energy usage to maintain cooking temperature. Excessive splattering inside the fryer resulting in a mess to clean up. Decreased life of the air filter and the oil. Refreezing Frozen Foods? Frozen foods should be fried frozen. Foods that are refrozen can absorb more oil and make your fried foods taste greasy. Refrozen food forms excessive ice and these ice crystals can bond food pieces together causing clumping. Remember: Always FRY FOOD FROZEN. NEVER REFREEZE thawed food. REMOVE ice crystals from product before frying. DO NOT accept thawed or refrozen product from supplier. Excessive Foaming? The main reason for foaming is improper rinsing of oil vat after cleaning: To remove soap residue, rinse 3 times with water after cleaning or neutralize with a water and vinegar solution (1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water). Take care of your oil; use standby mode during slow periods. High temperature and oxygen contribute to oil breakdown. Filter oil and clean vat at least once a day when using heavily breaded products. Excessive Smoking/Oil Darkening? Oil is too hot, check temperature. Inadequate filtering, breading or batter build-up in vat causes oil breakdown, giving food a bitter taste. Moisture content is too high. Use precooked frozen products only. Remember to remove ice crystals. Grease Soaked Food? Frozen food is being allowed to thaw before frying. Oil is in the advanced stages of breakdown, replace immediately. Oil temperature is too low, check temperature. Product has too much breading or batter, remove excess

17 OIL FACTS (Continued) Food Not Browning Properly? New oil may not brown the product; check color again after a few basket loads. Too much product is in the basket; fill no higher than the fill line. Product is not frying long enough, follow manufacturers suggested cooking times. Oil temperature is too low, check oil temperature. Product is frying in excess foam. Oil level is too low, check the oil level. Premature Oil Breakdown? Oil is at full temperature during slow periods, use standby mode. Oil is contaminated. Never use wire brushes, copper pads or steel wool for cleaning. Use a hard bristle brush and filter oil regularly. Rinse with water vinegar solution. Also, see section; HOW HOT IS TOO HOT?
